My family & I had a great experience with Chrystal’s horses! This was our first time riding & we were very comfortable. The views were amazing. Definitely worth the price especially for the length of time we were able to ride. Would definitely book again!
Chrystal went above and beyond when we missed our meet up! She accommodated us needing food and restroom break. The horses were perfect for inexperienced rider and the scenery was beautiful! Anyone thinking about booking with Desert Trails, do it!
We did not get to participate in the beach horseback riding as we missed our shuttle. There was no taxi or other transportation available to get to the location and although the website states there are two pick up times the operator communicates that this was not true. We walked around Ensenada for two hours trying to find transportation to the location without success. Even the tour operator could not reach a taxi service to get us there. I was hoping for at least a partial refund as we paid for the experience and shuttle but it was declined. We did not partition either the shuttle or riding experience.
Crystal was great. The horses were beautiful and well mannered. I had a blast. I would recommend to anyone, even if you haven't rode before.
This is a wonderful experience! Horse back riding on the beach is so peaceful and relaxing! This is the second time I’ve used dessert trails and I highly recommend this business. Thank you Crystal!
I am a very experienced rider. I was given a horse with spunk and courage which is exactly what I wanted. I was able to ride into the ocean at my own will. If I’m ever in Ensenada again, I will definitely do this ride again
Our family had an amazing experience. Chrystal and all her staff were amazing and took such great care of us. Definitely recommend and will return for more. Thank you!!!!!
This trip was meh, got picked up an hour late which meant after driving for 45 minutes we didn’t have much time on the horses. Guide didn’t speak any English basically we went 10 minutes up the beach and 10 minutes back!!! If it wasn’t for the driver and his daughter being so nice this review we have got 1 star
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the company of the driver and his daughter—they will appreciate your kind words. That said, we would like to clarify a few points. There was no delay of the length mentioned, and we remained in communication throughout the pickup process to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Additionally, the horseback ride is a set experience, and it was not limited to a 10-minute ride in each direction as described. We always aim to provide an honest and enjoyable experience for all of our guests, and we take feedback seriously. If there was any confusion or concern during your tour, we would have appreciated the opportunity to address it in the moment. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
What a fun experience! The tour operator, Chrystal, was great at matching horses to your level. I have had horses most of my life, so they let me trot ahead and ride, while they matched my less experienced husband and son with horses that were very sweet and listened well. We also have younger kids that were able to enjoy the experience (they walked the horse my 6 year old was on to make sure he was very safe)! I would absolutely recommend this experience. Pick up and drop off was easy, the horses are very loved, the scenery was very pretty and it's one of the best riding experiences I've had!
We had an amazing experience, the horseback ride along the beach was very relaxing and beautiful, Chrystal was amazing and made sure our experience was perfect. She took great pictures of me and my boyfriend horse back riding and picked us up and dropped us off from our cruise port and even told us a good place to get tacos. I would highly recommend booking through them they made sure we had a great experience.
